"There are people in this room who are informed and who care about this election, who recognize that this is a defining time for America," he said. "We have on one side a president who wants to transform America into a European-style nation, and you have on other hand someone like myself that wants to turn around America and keep America American with the principals that made us the greatest nation on Earth. And I will do that with your help."

In May I was joking around on FB that I was focus testing possible campaign slogans for a leading presidential candidate, adding that we need one that’ll distract voters from the candidate's flagrant weaknesses. Said we'd come up with: “Choose America, America…OK?!!”

You need to brush on your history and the Democratic Party’s role in the KKK. "The first Klan was founded in 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee, by six veterans of the Confederate Army.[15] The name is probably from the Greek word kuklos (κύκλος) which means circle, suggesting a circle or band of brothers.[16]Although there was no organizational structure above the local level, similar groups arose across the South adopted the same name and methods.[17] Klan groups spread throughout the South as an insurgent movement during the Reconstruction era in the United States. As a secret vigilante group, the Klan targeted freedmen and their allies; it sought to restore white supremacy by threats and violence, including murder, against black and white Republicans. In 1870 and 1871, the federal government passed the Force Acts, which were used to prosecute Klan crimes.[18] Prosecution of Klan crimes and enforcement of the Force Acts suppressed Klan activity. In 1874 and later, however, newly organized and openly active paramilitary organizations, such as the White League and the Red Shirts, started a fresh round of violence aimed at suppressing blacks' voting and running Republicans out of office. These contributed to segregationist white Democrats regaining political power in all the Southern states by 1877.

uh yeah.....you should be all about you..like checking your own right wing bullshit....the Republicans were founded as a pro abolitionist party and they became the party of northern business interests during and after the civil war....you know when the democrats..(the major party of the south at the time) were pretty much ostracized from American politics until the mid 1880's.fast forward through several decades to the start of the civil rights movement after ww2 when the many social conservatives,(i.e.Dixiecrats) went over to the repubs because the dems under kennedy and johnson were pushing civil rights...that started as early as the Dixiecrat walkout during the 1948 DNC because of Truman's proposed early civil rights legislation....after this time period most of the social conservatives coalesced under the repug banner of pro bius,law and order,"keeping america american" sort of thing....maybe if you actually read something besides neocon ,revisionist bullshit you might make sense ....also try and make an argument using less the the more than 5 logical fallacies you used in you post shit-for-brains...

As it turns out, Romney's slogan was "Keep America America" which is not the same thing as the KKK's slogan. Let's not condemn a man of a being a racist on faulty knowledge. Let's not be party puppets, people.
